Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants.


Wrong because of facts.


Yeah, one city stopped buying the comics as an economy move. The politician who caused the initial ban lost the next election.

Nevertheless, Mr. Duck has feathers which are just as effective as pants.

Did you know...

Nuclear power stations cannot be built in cornwall as it is so radioactive the sites would already exceed legal radiation limits before they opened, and the natural topsoil and rock would all have to be disposed of as low-level nuclear waste.

Those socks you manage to lose (you know, you have a pair, they get washed, then suddenly you only have one and you never seem to find the other), well I can tell you that, in fact, you don't actually lose them. They go through a metamorphosis and some time later appear in your wardrobe as...wire hangers.

Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down so you could see his moves. That's the opposite of the norm.

"The Cat" was what US servicemen called Gogen Yamaguchi (the founder of Ishinryu Karate).

Also his grandson reputedly KO'ed Bruce Lee during a demonstration. Bruce apparently asked for a volunteer to defend against one of his punches, and got more than he bargained for when another (more senior) master got up to help.

:lol: A little more useful knowledge: The trick is to kick the master sharply to the shin....Then the pebble it much easier to snatch.







A lot more useful knowledge: A brisk run is adviseable after snatching the pebble.

Back to useless knowledge:

They called Gogen Yamaguchi "The Cat" because he walked so quietly that he'd often surprise them by correcting their techniques when they swore that only a moment before he was across the room with another student.

Thanks, It's always gratifying to find one of those few folks who don't describe it as weird or perverse. :D
